There once was a man who had princely palaces and villas, and piatterie gold and silver, furniture and luxury embroidered, and coaches all gilded inside and out.
But this man, to his misfortune, he had a blue beard, and this thing made him so ugly and scary, there was no woman, girl or married, only to see that, no legs to run away from fear. Among his
vicinanti, there was a great lady, who had two daughters, two eyes in the sun. He asked in a wife, leaving the choice of the mother of two who had wanted him, but the girls would not hear anything, dribbling between them and if they found no to the deciding to marry a man who had a blue beard. The thing then most of all was that made them shudder, that this man had married several women and they had never been able to know what had happened.
fact is that Blue-Beard, just to get in touch, the least, with her mother and three or four of their friends, and in the company of some young men of the neighborhood, in his villa, where they stayed eight days integers. And there was all a put on hiking, fishing and hunting parties, balls, banquets, picnics: no one found time to turn a blind eye, because they spend their nights to be with each of Celie in short, things took such a good fold, which the youngest daughter ended up convinced that the owner of the villa had a beard so blue, and it was a clean-cut and very decent person. Back country, came the wedding.
Within a month, Blue Beard told his wife to an affair of great importance was forced to travel and stay out at least six weeks: that he prayed to be cheerful during his absence, that invites his best friends, who lead him in the campaign, he was pleased the case: in a word, which were held by the queen and court banned everywhere.
"Here," he said, "the keys of the two great wardrobes here is that of gold and silver dishes, which do not go to work every day here is that of my treasures, where I keep the bags of coins here is that of the cases, where the joys and trappings of precious stones here is the common key that is used to open all the districts. But as for this other little key here is that of the closet, which remains in the bottom of the large hall on the ground floor. Mistress of all open, to go everywhere, but as the small closet, I forbid you to enter it and I will forbid so absolute, that if you happen to disgrace it is opened, you can expect everything from my anger. "
Ella promises that would be attached to the orders: and he, after having embraced, riding in a carriage, and off on his journey.
The neighbors and friends did not wait to be looking for, go to the bride, so much was consumed by the desire to see all the magnificence of his palace, Arrisicato not having to go there before when there was always the husband, because of the blue beard, which made them such fear. And here they are immediately sgonnellare for salt, for the rooms and galleries, always wonder in amazement. Climb upstairs room and the wardrobe, they went into raptures at seeing the beauty and lots of wallpaper, carpets, beds, tables, tables of work, and large mirrors, where one could seek from the tip of walk up to the hair, and whose picture frames, crystal pieces and parts of silver and silver gilt, were the most beautiful thing and more surprising that he had ever seen. They are not finished by praising and envy the happiness of their friend, which, however, did not enjoy the view point of so much wealth, tormented as he was, from the great curiosity to go and see the ground floor of the closet.
And not being able to be moved, regardless of impropriety there on the spot to let the whole company, taken to a secret staircase, and fell down with such fury, that two or three times we ran almost broke 's neck.
arrived at the door of the closet, paused a moment, recalling the prohibition of her husband, and for fear of trouble, which could meet for its disobedience, but the temptation was so strong, that there was no way to win it. He took the key, and shaking like a leaf opened the door of the closet.
At first he could not distinguish anything because the windows were closed, but gradually began to see that the floor was covered with blood coagulate, which reflected the bodies of several dead women and attacked around the walls. They were all women who had married Blue Beard, and besides their throats cut, one after the other.
If you do not fear death, it was a miracle and the key to the closet, that it had withdrawn out of the hole in the door, fell out of hand. When
had recovered a little, picked up the key, closed the door and went in his room, to recover from the shock, but was so moved and shaken, he could not find the way to fetch breath and repeat a little 'color.
Having the key of the sights that had been stained with blood, cleaned two or three times, but the blood would not go away. He had a good wash and a good rub with the sand and chalk: the blood was still there, because the key was enchanted and there was no way to clean it respectable: he disappeared when the blood on the one hand, suffered from that other flourishes.
Blue Beard returned from his trip that night, recounting that he had received letters in the street, where they said the deal, for which he had had move from home, had been settled and ready-advantageous to him.
The wife did everything he could to give him to understand that he was very glad of his speedy return.
The day afterwards her husband took the keys and she gave them to him, but his hand trembled so much that he could guess it all happened effortlessly.
"How," he said, "that of all these keys do not find that the closet?"
"You see," she said, "that I left above, on my table."
"Mind you," said Blue Beard, "that I suffered."
Successful useless for any excuse traccheggiare, agreed Take the key. Blue Beard, after having put on his eyes, asked his wife:
"How come there is blood on this key?".
"I do not really know," replied the poor woman, whiter than death.
"Oh, do not know, eh!" Replied Blue Beard, "but I know well! You have decided to go in the closet.
Well, madam: there you will enter forever and go to fetch next place to those other women who have seen him there. "
She threw herself at the feet of her husband, weeping and begging forgiveness, with all the signs of true repentance, of having disobeyed. Bella and saddened as he was, would have softened a rock: but Blue Beard had a heart harder than stone.
"We must die, madam," he said, "and soon."
"Because I have to die," she said looking at him with eyes all filled with tears, "at least give me the time to commend to God"
"I agree half quarter of an hour: not a minute more," replied the husband.
When left alone, called his sister and said
"Anna", was his name, "Anna, my sister, please, get on top of the tower to see if my brothers arrived and I promised that today would come to see me, if you see them, make 'their signs, because they should hasten as I could. "
sister Anna climbed to the top of the tower and the poor disconsolate cries from time to time:
" Anna, Anna, my sister, you appear not see anyone? ".
" I do not see other than the sun blazes and the grass grows green. "
Meanwhile Barba-blue, with a large knife in his hand, cried with them than they had 'lungs:
" Come down now! or if not, I go up. "
" Another minute, for charity, "said his wife.
And again he began to cry out in a choked voice:
" Anna, Anna, my sister, you see not find any ?.
"I see nothing but the sun blazes and the grass grows green. "
" Hurry down, "cried Blue Beard," or if I do not go up. "
" Here I am, "replied his wife, and again to shout:
" Anna, Anna, sister I do not see you find any? ".
" I see, "said Sister Anna," I see a great cloud of dust that comes to this part ... "
" Am I my brothers? "
" Alas no, my sister: a flock of sheep. "
" So you want to go down, yes or no? "Cried Blue Beard.
" Another momentino "replied his wife and returned to cry
"Anna, Anna, my sister, you appear not see anyone?".
"I see," she said, "two knights who come here, but are still very far away."
"Thanks be to God", he added a moment later, "are our own brothers, I make them all the signs I can, so HURRY and come soon." Meanwhile
Barba-blue began to shout so loud, that shook the whole house. The poor woman had to go down, and all disheveled and weeping, she went to throw himself at her feet:
"I'm useless whining," said Blue Beard, "we must die."
So taking with one hand by the hair, and with the other raising his cutlass through the air, was about to cut off her head.
The poor woman, turning to him and watching him dying with his eyes, asked him one last moment in order to collect.
"No, no," cried another, "recommended immediately to God," and raising his arm ...
At that point there was a knock at the door so hard that Blue Beard stopped suddenly, and just opened, they saw two knights who come, drew his sword, threw themselves on Barba-blue.
It recognized them immediately to the brothers of his wife, a dragon and the other Musketeers, and save themselves, they gave away. But the two brothers pursued him so close to that reached him before he could get on the front porch. And it costs the sword passed from side to side and left him dead. The poor woman was almost dead with her husband, and had no breath to rise to go and embrace her brothers. And why
